Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 200 ml milk (a little less than 1 cup)
- 100 g flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla sugar or some vanilla extract
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1-2 Tbsp. sugar
Instructions
-
Start with dividing the eggs into yolks and egg whites.
-
Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites then beat them in a clean bowl until they are stiff.
-
In a different bowl, mix the egg yolks with the flour, vanilla sugar and milk.
-
When the batter is mixed nicely, carefully add the egg whites and also carefully use a hand whisker or spatula to mix both together without losing the fluff.
-
Heat a pan to a little more than medium heat and melt enough butter in it to cover the entire bottom.
-
Add about 3/4 inch thick layer of the batter to the pan and let it fry slowly until the bottom side is golden.
-
Use two forks or two spatulas to divide the pancake crosswise into 4 quarters.
-
Flip each quarter so the upper side is now the bottom side.
-
Fry until the bottom side is lightly golden, then start to pull the quarters apart to create bitesize pancake pieces.
-
Add a little more butter to the pan and sprinkle about 1/2 Tbsp. of sugar on the content of the pan.
-
Stir until it covers each piece and let it caramelize.
-
Serve immediately with fruit compote from plums, cherries, strawberries or apple! Sprinkle confectioners sugar on top.
